Oh wait, you said his memorial would cease.
That's like saying the Sabbath would cease to exist?
Ofcourse it does, but you have to enter into it.
And the only way to enter is through the door.
And then you have to have the key which is by faith not by works.


I'm going to be bold here...
The Sabbath is the Gospel.

When you understand this then you will finally "get it".
(that we can work on the Sabbath as long as we're empowered by the Holy Spirit to "rest".)
Mark my words, the most wretched individual in the Resurrection of the Damned won't be the drug pusher or the homicidal maniac...but "Christians" who lead many to a Christless grave by preaching doctrines of devils like that, Dave.

The Holy Spirit never directs us to elevate commandments of men and relegate commandments of God.

You're forgetting that God already prescribed how we're to "observe" the memorial - by taking literal rest from our work and labor every 7th day.

You guys want to change God's prescribed method of observance from "literal rest" to "spiritual rest" - so that we may safely ignore His command for literal rest.

See, you guys need to realize that in the same way that Satan thought to change God's way of doing things in heaven which led my Jesus dying an ignominious death on the Cross, so that same "spirit" is behind every attempt by man to change God's way of doing things on earth, both headquartered in papal Rome and materializing throughout "apostate protestantism". Repent and stop trying to run God's program, friend.

Jesus Christ his Son
I've never seen such overt blasphemy as to say Christ is behind casting off commandments.

"Think not I have come to destroy the law and the prophets..."

Can you explain this, I don't understand what you mean.
Thankyou

No where are we told that the command to keep the Sabbath (God's memorial to creation and re-creation) holy by literally resting every 7th day was nullified at the Cross - to the contrary, we're to observe it in the here and now as much as every other of the Ten Commandments, as well as for all eternity.

Will it ever be permissible to have other God's before God?
To bow down and worship idols?
To blaspheme?
Then why do you think it's permissible to not keep the Sabbath holy by literal rest every 7th day?

That's what he told Moses to tll the children of Israel. And if they didn't obey Moses they would die.

That's not the way Jesus told us though. He even showed us himself that it is good to do good even on the sabbath day.
Jesus was working everyday even on the sabbath.
We are told to have him as our example, not what God told Moses to tell Israel.

Look your at the crossroads and you have to decide which path your going to follow.
Your either going to go down the path with Moses or your going to go up the path with Jesus.

There is no other way.

Well, God told us to listen to his son.
So we didn't put anyone before God, except God put his son before him.
You going to argue with God?

I never said it wasn't permissible. I said it simply wasn't a requirement for salvation. But you already know that. You just want to be argumentative.

You can keep whatever day you like. But God made one special for himself and shared it with the world.
This Day He called Light. Nowhere in the creation of days did God call the seventh day Sabbath. That was the name God gave to Moses to give to Israel.

Kind of like, by my name Jehovah they did not know me.
God didn't name the Day until they came out of Egypt. Which is a type of Christ freeing us from sin and death.
And God called him my son, in whom I am well pleased, and hear ye him.

But keep on listening to Moses if you want to.
I'm not jusging you, I'm just explaining why I don't keep one day. I keep The Day. Meaning I keep the Lord, not a day on a calendar that man made and changes and has totally messed it up adding days and months, and adding holidays that are all vanity.


What you going to do when you get to heaven and the calendar doesn't exist anymore. There are no days or weeks or months?
You gonna be lost. Start today. To Day is the Day of the Lord.
Psa 118:24
This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

To Day.

And the Light God called Day.

Rev 22:5
And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.

For the Lord God giveth you the Sabbath. For the Lord God giveth you the Light.
To Day if you will hear his voice...

@Phoneman777 says: the REST in the LORD of the Sabbath is a doctrine of devils.........

i SEE that you are a undercover RCC Jesuit working as a SDA.

Anyone who denies that the Holy Spirit writes the Ten Commandments on the heart of New Covenant Christian (2 Corinthians 3:3 KJV; Hebrews 8:8-10 KJV) doesn't have a clue about the Gospel of the New Covenant, nor is he a member of it.

Hebrews 4:9-10 KJV plainly states that if we're resting inwardly in God's grace, we'll demonstrate that every week by resting outwardly from our daily work "as God did from His".
AGREE - Anyone who denies that the Holy Spirit writes the Ten Commandments on the heart of New Covenant Christian (2 Corinthians 3:3 KJV; Hebrews 8:8-10 KJV) doesn't have a clue about the Gospel of the New Covenant, nor is he a member of it.

SAME as saying:

Anyone who promotes saturday sabbath as a New Covenant requirement from God, does not know the Gospel and what the LORD did for us. = Hebrews chapter 4

There is a Sabbath REST that God said if you do not walk in it, you will die in your sins = John ch8

When you find that REST you find Salvation and the Love of God = Matthew 11:25-30

Further proof... SDA is a cult View attachment 42155
i thought the Gospel led us to a Christless grave because HE is RISEN

Now on the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they, and certain other women with them, came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared. But they found the stone rolled away from the tomb.
Then they went in and did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. Luke 24:1-3

He's trying to say those that don't observe Saturday sabbath are
teaching doctrines of devil and will be separated from the Lord forever

Hey, you're the one praying to a mirror not me man! View attachment 42112

If you don't want others to think you are engaging in witchcraft, then don't start quoiting it's garbage!

You are gaslighting and deflecting from the truth by the manner in which you post.

You begin to attack the person rather than the content and all of your rebuttals are simply just your opinion whether or not your opinion is right or wrong.

In the Jer 31:31 verse it seems that you stopped reading the verse when you got to the words a "new covenant," without clarifying which covenant God was referencing in the verses that followed.

Jeremiah 31:31ff: - A New Covenant

31 "Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make like new again the covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah — 32 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the country of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, though I was a husband to them, says the Lord. 33 But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 34 No more shall every man teach his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' for they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more."

35 Thus says the Lord,
Who gives the sun for a light by day,
The ordinances of the moon and the stars for a light by night,
Who disturbs the sea,
And its waves roar
(The Lord of hosts is His name):

36 "If those ordinances depart
From before Me, says the Lord,
Then the seed of Israel shall also cease
From being a nation before Me forever.
"

37 Thus says the Lord:
"If heaven above can be measured,
And the foundations of the earth searched out beneath,
I will also cast off all the seed of Israel
For all that they have done, says the Lord.


38 "Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, that the city shall be built for the Lord from the Tower of Hananel to the Corner Gate. 39 The surveyor's line shall again extend straight forward over the hill Gareb; then it shall turn toward Goath. 40 And the whole valley of the dead bodies and of the ashes, and all the fields as far as the Brook Kidron, to the corner of the Horse Gate toward the east, shall be holy to the Lord. It shall not be plucked up or thrown down anymore forever."

In around 20 years' time, after the completion of the Gentile nations trampling God’s sanctuary and His earthly hosts, the above is the covenant that God will make with the nation of Israel.

Also important to note, in the quoted verses, is the dire warning to the nation of Israel if they depart from God’s ordinances.

You have claimed that my understanding was wrong of the above quoted verses, but sir your understanding is not the understanding that God intended when he had these verses penned.

As you have claimed someone is getting their “teaching” from the wrong “spirit.”

God was giving a brand-new covenant with the Israelites; he will make like new again the same covenant that He had made with the Israelites at Mt Sinai before they rebelled in approximately 20 years' time in our future.

I rest my apology.

Hello

Just an observation. The title of this thread is: - " Here is why, as an Adventist, I believe America is in Trouble..

For me it seems that this thread has become just another excuse to abuse those who adhere to the SDA doctrine, which means that the other doctrine adherents are missing the point and not hearing in the Spirit what the Adventists are saying.

Seems like this thread has gone rogue and of topic.

Perhaps someone should report my rogue behaviour.

You are continuing your gas lighting and are missing the point of the thread which you have turned into an opportunity to bash SDA members with your unchristian hatred of the SDA and their members. You are following their example because some SDA adherents, they have a hatred of the RCC just like your hatred of the SDA.

For the record, I am not an SDA adherent nor do I subscribe to all of their teaching. Now do you believe that the Beasts of Daniel 7 are kingdoms and nations and empire? If you agree to this understanding that you are also an SDA adherent in this instance. If you have a different perspective of who the beasts of Danile 7 are, then please present you understanding. You cannot bash the SDA over one small aspect of their doctrine when you are in agreement with other aspects of their doctrine. It would be good if you were consistent in what you present.

Yes and God tweaked the original covenant such that it was not written on stone but rather was writing on the flesh of their hearts. But other than that, it was basically the same covenant. God's covenantal condition in the refreshed Jer 31:31ff covenant is now based on the foundation that will come down out of heaven during the time of the kings and this foundational stone will become the greatest mountain in all of the world. God's prophetic word will be fulfilled.

Shalom
